Canon have posted new firmware (version 1.1.0) for the EOS-1D MkII. Stated improvements are:
1. Improvement to the AF tracking when using the AI Servo AF to shoot low-luminance or low-contrast subjects.
2. Reduced the time between when the camera is turned on and when it is ready to shoot from 0.5 seconds to 0.3 seconds.
3. Support added for the wireless file transmitter WFT-E1.
Rob Galbraith has a very detailed article explaining some of the quirks of AF in the Mark II with regard to different lenses, and comments on this firmware upgrade.
